RE: The Day The Routers Died

It's how the majority of the English speaking word pronounce 
"router".  
Some minor English dialects (e.g. en_US and en_CA) get the 
word "route" (pr. root) mixed up with the word "rout" (pr. 
rowt); which means something totally different (we guide 
traffic, not scare it into a disorganised rabble).

In the UK "router" pronounced a la USA (albeit with a "t" rather than a "d")
is a woodworking tool. I'm trying to think of a way to put a political spin
on that, but I can't. >:-)
